Hot diggity dog!


The world’s largest commercial hot dog was grilled and served at the Miami-Dade County Fair and Exposition Friday.

The goal was for the hefty bun to weigh about 8 pounds.

A 51-pound frankfurter was cooked for three hours on Juicy’s 100-foot traveling grill. It was then nestled in a behemoth bun and covered with pounds of ketchup, mustard, relish and onions.


The final weight was recorded and has been sent to Guinness so the hot dog can officially be named the winning wiener.


Pounds of ketchup, muster and relish were piled on top of the hot dog. Evan S. Benn/Miami Herald Pounds of ketchup, muster and relish were piled on top of the hot dog.

Hungry fair-goers then got to chow down on the top dog. Pieces of the mammoth hot dog were sold for $ 1 to benefit Miami Rescue Mission, an organization that provides food and other services to the homeless in South Florida.


This isn’t the first time Juicy’s CEO and founder Brett Enright has cut the mustard when it comes to ginormous foods. He also holds the record for the largest hamburger commercially available.


The jumbo hot dog was later cut up and sold to fair-goers for $ 1 to raise money for charity. Evan S. Benn/Miami Herald The jumbo hot dog was later cut up and sold to fair-goers for $ 1 to raise money for charity.

The 777-pound burger costs $ 5,000 and needs to be ordered 48 hours in advanced.


Enright said there may be even bigger dogs in his future.


“There’s a guy in Chicago who had the previous hot dog record,” Enright told the Miami Herald. “I’m hoping he comes back and beats this so we can turn around and make the biggest hot dog the world has ever seen.”
